Primo ‘Bloghiversario’

Ciao Amici! Oggi facciamo ‘un po’ di festa’ perché è il primo ‘bloghiversario’ di Un po’ di pepe! Today is a bit of a celebration as it’s Un po’ di pepe’s 1 year ‘bloghiversary’! Exactly 1 year ago today I finally hit the blue ‘Publish’ button. The year has gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was struggling to find a blog name that was available and also relevant and meaningful for me. I couldn’t believe that ‘Ciao Cristina’ and everything else I could think of was taken. Mannaggia! The frustration was worth it though, because ‘Un po’ di pepe’ is an awesome blog name.

What has this year been filled with? 27 blog posts, 94 subscribers, 2450 views, an average of 7 visitors per day, and lots and lots of ideas and inspiration. One of my blogging highlights was when my cugino Biagio told me that he used my 2nd post ‘Il Gigante-Michelangelo’s David’ to teach his class on Renaissance history. Isn’t that molto cool?

Thank you all so much for reading and for giving me an excuse to write about stuff I love and share my images. You know….’Devo fare ricerca per il blog'(I need to do research for my blog) is my new reason to do all the things I want to do! It has been a wonderful experience so far! Please leave a comment if you have suggestions for posts, or you just want to say ‘ciao’.

Hi Cristina … Love your blog , love the cake. Love you … Keep writing .. . I remember a few years ago you when you were determined one day soon you would have a blog and voila .. you have now been publishing for a year!! ‘’congratulations!! Susanne xo

Grazie Susanne. I did procrastinate a lot, didn’t I? Like my Mamma says ‘meglio tardi Che mai’ (better late than never). Having awesome supportive friends like you was a key factor in getting this project going. Baci, Cristina
Ps Lucia made the lovely cake!
